Default ITR lower control arms

I was wondering if anyone could tell me, is the length of the ITR rear lower control arms the same length as the stock eg control arms? I have the SPC lower control arms for the rear and they are shorter. Any help would be appreciated.

Also wondering if anyone has installed the Prothane trailing arm bushings, how much of a pain? and do you like them, can you tell a difference?

The ITR LCA and EG LCA should be the same length since they both share the same chassis. Your SPC LCAs might be for an EK since the EK subframe is longer than the EG.

The ITR lower control arms are the same length. They just use a completely different lower shock mounting method. They will bolt up, but you will need new rear shocks.

The SPC arms are shorter because they are made to reduce negative camber.

DO NOT USE POLY TRAILING ARM BUSHINGS!

Just curious as to why not to use poly trailing arm bushings, other than maybe noise and vibration from them being solid.

I could care less about noise and vibration. Poly rear trailing arm bushings do not allow the rear suspension to toe in under compression like it should. They do not let the suspension work the way it was designed too.

Do a search, it has been covered a million times.

IIRC, every civic and integra share the same parts for the rear suspension EXCEPT the type r. I used to own an EF, and for some reason the rear lower control arm on my 88 civic was the same part number as the one for the type r.

So im gonna have to go ahead and say no its not the same.

No it's not, but it's the same design.
